It was Brown's third double-double in seven games for James Madison (4-3) this season. He was joined in the double-double category by teammate Yohanny Dalembert who also registered career bests of 23 points and 15 boards. It was Dalembert's first double-double of the season.

It's the first time JMU has had a pair of double-doubles in one game since Denzel Bowles and Rayshawn Goins in a 2011 loss to Hofstra.

The Dukes had first-half leads of 13-3, 37-19 and 46-23 at the half. Marshall (0-3) used an 18-3 run to cut the deficit to 12, but the Thundering Herd could never cut it to a single-digit deficit.
